re:
"what would you do to correct them"
I wondered if some metal could be welded onto the center
of the rotor (on what would be the "crown" if you thought of
the rotor shape as a wide-brimmed hat).
I agree they are certainly less unbalanced than the drums, so it
might not take much metal. Don't think it would interfere with
the calipers or the wheel, either.
